I like the documentary/ realism thing you're going for here - there's a nice progression through the different frames in the picture. The perspective through the door is evocative and hints at a hidden Drama. I think if you had cleaned up the details here - e.g taken the chair out of the bottom left and cropped out the printer (?) in the bottom right this would do better. Also it's possibly a bit in need of sharpening.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

This photo meets the challenge with no doubt, but unfortunately, it doesn't go much beyond that. In the greater scheme of things, meeting the challenge is only the primary stepping stone of a successful image in these competitions. There is simply nothing compelling about your subject choice or your perspective. This challenge required taking a look at subject choices that have interesting curves, shapes, and textures and then getting creative with a photo composition. Your vacuum cleaner has curves, shapes, and textures, but in my humble opinion, they just don't interest me from this perspective. I'm not sure what you could have done to make this into a more intriguing image.

I see that you are new to DPChallenge, so my current suggestion to you is to spend some time looking around the challenges. You will see a lot of great images :) You will also see what sorts of ideas and themes it takes to rise to the top of the pack :)

I really like how crisp and clean this is on its own. I am a bit distracted by the upright mattress and chair, but gosh I do like the image.

I like this image, the windows of the house on the background are nicely framed by your window, the black and white is clean, the sharpness without excess, the chair that in a first view could be distracting add something to the image. all the elements are in the right position for a well balanced composition.
